this is a horror in the line of texas chainsaw massacre with the unrelenting gross-out fest of modern horror films.
its more or less texas chainsaw massacre (maybe closer to the new version) with nazi's and good dose of "high tension" (also a french movie). the first part of the film seems like its going to be a political drama about a group of young resistance fighters, riots, newscasts, and all. then they flee to a rural hotel. from there the family that runs the hotel are cannibals/nazi's and things get really twisted.
there are a number of scenes that test your ability to tolerate seeing pain, a few scenes which i found to be truly scary, and some disturbing concepts. some scenes which are actually funny like machine gun toting women and throwback nazi speeches.
the nazi parts are weird, but a fresh concept that's actually interesting not cheesy.
its a good horror movie that'll entertain you. it won't be the best you ever saw but a worthy addition. as a modern horror movie its one that is actually re-watchable where many are senseless shocking violence.

there are a few scenes where people do dumb things that force the movie forward. these seem poorly plotted, but aren't bad enough to ruin the film, just not entirely believable.

oh and the french language can make some of the english subtitle fly by really quickly. this is somewhat difficult at the beginning of the film when the action is quick paced.
